My family and I are really interested in moving to Northern Colorado early 2007. We visited No.Co in April we found it very nice and simple living. A lot of the locals say the economy is not very strong up there now. A lot of industry went to other ...

I know people that use to work there this is what they tell me. It's high turn over. Pay sucks $25. Schedule sucks. Medics think they are above the RN's.

so, hmm 2 private prisons in Ault. :o and gang/school problems in greeley. a lot of strikes but still have a lot of positives in our list, nothing is set on stone yet family and I are still doing this 'pros and cons' thing.

Hi Hannahrn, My family and I took I-70 better scenic route and a lot faster!! I'm too from So.Cali thinking of relocating to Northern Colorado. Coming back home we took I-25 South to 40West this was the longest boring drive and it's a lot longer. I ...

I read that there were rumors of a prison in Ault some are against it and some are for it. Is Northern Colorado that desperate for jobs that they are willing to have a medium security prison in their community? My family and I are really wanting to r...

Thanx for the info. The builder's sales rep warned us about this specific middle school in Greeley to avoid. I notice a lot of the houses there have basements are tornados possible?? Where are you located?

Good for you!!! I'm right behind you!!! :balloons:

I'm getting out of Acute Care (Med/Surg). Tired of the politics and drama. They are making me hate nursing. The 'they' are managements and unappreciated people you encounter.Everything falls on 'the nurse'. Pharmacist needs clarification order they c...

Just applied to my local sheriff's dept for staff nurse.What I heard they are 8 hour shift/40 hours a week with weekend commitment. Hypothetically if it's your weekend on then you only need to work 3 days on the weekday for example; M T W Sat Sun if ...

"they have mandadted the "No One Gets the Point" program...which means that if someone asks for directions on how to get to x-ray, soda machines, bathrooms, etc, they are ESCORTED not just pointed in the right direction - NO EXCEPTIONS...if you are t...

I'm in the process of looking around to see what else is out there. One of the original reasons why I went into hospital setting was the 'prestigousness' my mother actually told me to work in a hospital she states it looks and sounds better than work...

my current hospital is hiring foreign nurses left and right. Are hospitals being given a tax break or some kind of benefit if they chose to hire foreign nurses and sponsor them? Our director didn't hire a local grad ADN nurse but choose to hire forei...

Hi thanks for the info. The HR rep said Med Center of the Rockies isn't hiring yet.. staff at least. I'm an RN. I'm hoping when it gets closer the hospital will offer some great relocation package. Yeah, I figured the process of endorsement will take...
